Two Different Worlds Epilogue

Kyle enjoys the ride home from the office. Stan and him live on a small ranch just outside of town and the view from the winding mountain road is beautiful, overlooking the valley below. Stan has promised that he can stop working once the ranch gets off its feet. He thinks it's so sexy the way that Stan longs to take care of him. Although he kind of likes his job. He sells houses in town, a new development called South Park. It's a quaint little village with dozens of little houses in a community. The town is divided in half with a main street that houses businesses and shops. He's heard of developments like this starting to pop up back in NY.

By the time he pulls up to the ranch twilight is just setting in. As he gets out of the car he can see Stan coming in from the stables covered in mud an god knows what else. He starts trotting towards Kyle and Kyle winces, afraid Stan will run him over. He stops just short of him, giving him a kiss. He grabs Stan's wrist before they can touch him.

"Oh no you don't. You take off those dirty clothes before we go any further." Stan gives him a wry smile and starts fumbling with his pants. "NOT HERE!" Kyle says, walking towards the front door. Stan smiles at him.

"I was only kidding, babe." Stan says and Kyle rolls his eyes.

When they get into the house Stan actually does go towards the bathroom to wash up. Kyle sits down at the desk and picks up the letter he has been trying to write to his folks. He does want to let them know that he is okay and he has some friends in the post office who can make sure it can't be tracked to within a thousand miles of here.

Dear Mom, Dad, and Ike,

I am writing to let you know that I am alive and well. I can tell you that Stan and I are happy and together. Don't bother looking you will never find us. We went west and found a town of outcasts, some like us some with different issues, but we all look out for each other. The sheriff and most of the townspeople know what we are and don't care. They have all accepted us and taken us under their wing. Stan is fulfilling his dream of becoming a farmer, I know he will be successful. He is so determined to get what he wants. As for me I have found employment in real estate. All I can tell you is there are some amazing developments that are going to change the way we all live someday. Please try not to be mad and take comfort in the knowledge that for the first time in my life I am truly happy. As far as Ike goes try to listen to what he actually wants, not just what you envision for him. I miss you, buddy. Anyway it's doubtful that I will ever see you again but you are all in my thoughts and memories.

Love,

Kyle

Kyle puts down the pen and sighs. He doesn't know if he'll actually mail the letter. Despite postman Butters assurances he is still nervous about being tracked, but even just writing the dam thing eases his mind. It's as if he finally has closure.

He feels arms close around his shoulders and a kiss on his forehead. He turns around to see Stan as naked as a jay bird standing there, fresh from his shower. He's got this glow about him, a new confidence since they settled here. Kyle stands up and allows Stan to lead them to the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Well It's finally here, the end of the story. Please drop me a line and tell me your thoughts.
